You might be able to wire in resistors or something to make them work right, but the light output sucks and not worth the effort.

I have LED's on the way from TRS now. Should be here today, but I don't know when I'll have time to install.
Poor beam pattern is probably due to the placement of the LEDs in a standard halogen reflector vs an HID projector. Good to know, I'll just stick with the other set that have 144 SMDs on them since they're way more omnidirectional and a standard reflector should carry the light well.

As for the high beam issue, did you ever replace your relay with an LED specific one? That's already in my plans which should keep that from happening.

Did some basics. Conditioned the seats. Meguiars. Got some new stuff on the way. Ordered a Pioneer AVH 5700BHS. 7" touch screen. Stubby antenna and a new phone mount on the way too. Happy birthday to me! Pictures when it's all in. Thinking of replacing the audio throughout. Thinking Alpine speakers and a 12" Kicker Sub. Any suggestions! Comments? Opinion? Gripes? Haha!! -Ben

I like the look a previous member posted, but can you explain a switchback light??

Got a second key cut and programmed (non-clone) by a competent locksmith. Also ordered a keyfob for the remote starter (autostart AS-1455) that's installed in the dash. Maybe it will work.

Got some energy tonight and installed a tranny pan drain plug like many of you. I decided to use copper washers inside and out with a thin layer of black rtv. Also used thread locker to help seal around the threads.

Sorry for the duplicate pics. Doing this on my phone and kept getting a note that the app crashed so I tried it a few times. Then I see they're all there. Figures.
